All of us here at BaseballBigMouth.com understandably love the grand old game. But – between you, us, and the house by the side of the road – do you know what we love almost as much? Baseball memorabilia! Gloves, photos, programs, balls, souvenirs of all kinds: it’s all good! Best of all? We like to share! That’s where you come in.

BaseballBigMouth.com Tigers program 1974We would love to feature some of your favorite baseball memorabilia right here on our site, for all the world to see.

Did you ever catch a ball at a game? Snag a souvenir cup on a trip to Yankee Stadium back in the 70s? Scrape some paint chips off old Comiskey? Take a picture of it and send it to us! Photos should be in jpg format, and no larger than 425 pixels in width.

Far be it from The Heckler to go off on a rant . . . actually, that’s probably what you do expect, no? So why not, says I! Today’s topic: Kids collecting baseball cards and other memorabilia! The Heckler doesn’t want to come off like a cranky old(er) man, but — no lie — when I was kid, not once did I ever think of collecting something in order to make money. Rubber bands held my baseball card collection together, and my baseball sticker books were pasted full of — gasp! — stickers! Nowadays, I bet children would sooner keep the stickers separate from the book as opposed to actually using them. I mean, for the few that still collect baseball cards, I’m sure plastic sheets are just par for the course now. And that’s a shame.

For a trip down memory lane, check out this classic commercial for Panini Baseball Stickers. I still have about four of these albums from my youth. Not all compete, but I still have’em. Nothing like getting a gold-foil All-Star sticker! Ah, memories . . .  enjoy.

Did you ever collect these sticker books? Do you think something so quant could hold the attention of today’s easily-bored youngsters? Is the sticker book a product of a bygone era? Let me know by leaving a comment! Thanks for visiting BaseballBigMouth.com.
